For God So Loved the World

His life flashes before me
His works reach forth anew
He restores my sight, to see
His pure love does renew

He prayed continually
As all our pains pressed on Him
Steadfast, committedly
Still, naught a bit did soften

Ridicule, betrayal,
Mockery, abandonment
Torture that became fatal
Elements of the atonement

He asks that we forgive
And turn the other cheek
Like Him we are to live
He humble, kind, and meek
